Something feels off here. Dudette, you might not have known the (absurd) rules in the beginning, but at this point, it feels like you’re making mistakes on purpose. There’s no way you don’t know that “chicken nachos” is English after being constantly annoyed by the fucking language police (lol, even writing it makes me chuckle).

This reads a bit like a ragebait article, even though the “solit” things sounds veeeery plausible.

Preserving the language is a very important element of it for sure, and language-protection bills weren’t invented by the CAQ.

Immigrants can learn French in their own country, they’re not entitled to French lessons (except refugees, I guess, who are presumably exempted from French-learning rules anyway). They can always migrate to other parts of Canada if they don’t want to bother with French, nobody forces them to choose Québec.

I’ve known people living for more than 5 years in Montréal, and they never bothered to learn French. Not that I think they should, but not everyone learns the language as you claim.

Honestly, I’m not a fan of the CAQ, and I would be a hypocrite to criticize migrants given I was one in the province myself, but I do think that French speakers wanting to keep their language alive in their province makes sense, and it doesn’t happen on its own.

No you’re not. Nobody likes you fascists.

I think some players have already tried this. They named their specific technique “rugby”.

This isn’t a security vulnerability, it’s idiot-proofing

The fact is, the dickhead probably didn’t have any of those, otherwise we would’ve known from the article.

Putting others at risk is a far more serious offence that deserves harsh punishment, but this is not what happened here. Prison is grotesque. Community service, being expelled from school would have given the kid the lesson they deserve.

If you’d spit in my milk, while I do think that deserves to be handled by the courts, I don’t think it’d be appropriate to put you in prison.

Wilbur is very pronouncable!

I didn’t read the article, and thought the price hike was caused by the situation in Ukraine. I apologize.

I don’t think any European leader is celebrating Putin’s war of aggression, not even Orban or Fico.

Not just you, bud. We’ve seen the science confirm that the supposed productivity increases are a mirage.

Han… It’s pretty hard to guess! Could be anything really!

Fascism is colonialism turned inward*

Maybe a dogwhistle to tell his racist base to hang in there?

As soon as I stopped trying to write textbook OOP stuff, this stopped occurring to me. That was years ago.

I’m not saying I write perfect code, no. But when I read bad stuff I wrote, I can understand it and think of ideas about how to improve it if that becomes necessary.

On top of writing more functional-style code, the way I achieved this was:

• Absolutely no inheritance whatsoever. Composition + interfaces work wonders for what I do.
• Minimal mutable state. This pays dividends when debugging.
• Ditto for type-system-encoded nullability markers (ie. ? in C#, std::optional in C++…)
• I avoid writing code just-in-case something happens. If I haven’t run it manually or via unit tests, it goes to the garbage bin (not an absolute, just a guiding principle). There’s a chance that code isn’t even correct to begin with and you’ll have to throw it away should you ever need it.
• Low indirection. I don’t want to jump through 10 functions to see what something is doing, and nobody else does either.

Isn’t that an Atlantic Canada thing? I know Quebec has them, and I’m pretty sure we weren’t the only ones in Canada with bagged milk.

Fair enough!

Very few… But it’s honestly OK, you don’t need to know everything to be a C++ dev. There’s a few key features and practices you can’t ignore, and the rest can be discovered by staying informed whenever you have time and by reading cppreference when you see things that are unfamiliar in the codebases you’re working on.

🖐️🛑 Stop right there mate. Can you show me your TV-licence-verification licence?

At that scale, contracts are multiple interfaces, not just one. And C#/Java /whathaveyou interfaces are largely irrelevant, we’re talking way broader than this. Think protocol, like REST, RPC…
